RVES School Counselor Corner
September 2020
Welcome back!
As the school counselors at Riverview Elementary School, we help ALL students with social/emotional development, self-management, social skills, maintaining friendships, and we also provide support during various transitions in a student's life (e.g. family change, moving, grief, etc.). While these direct and indirect services might look different this year, we are so excited to be back at Riverview Elementary for another year to continue to work with the students, parents, and community members of Farmington!
Supporting your child's mental health as they transition back to school
While everyone is getting settled back into a new back-to-school routine, whether learning from home or back in-school, children are still facing major changes and disruptions to daily life. Many emotions come with these new transitions, and we are here to help! We are meeting with students individually either in-school or virtually via Google Meet, to help process the many feelings that come with the changes and challenges you children are faced with. Please reach out if your child needs additional support!
Please also click here for some tips to help your children navigate some of the complicated emotions they may be facing with going back to school.

Fall Climate Survey
- How did it feel being away from school?
- How do you feel about returning to school?
- Do you feel like you have friends at school?
- Do you feel like students are kind to one another?
In addition to determining strengths, this survey will help us identify areas for improvement and how we can enhance our school counseling program. This survey not only allows us to get to know each child and better understand their perception of the school climate, it allows your child to better understand the counselor’s role in the school. We look forward to this project and spending time with each of your kiddos!
